Cortez is a truly truly truly **** referee at this point.

Joe Cortez is a terrible, incompetent referee. He's inconsistent in his officiating and usually favors one fighter over another.
That being said, when I watch him work fights from 5-10 years ago, he seemed okay then. So maybe it's just old age - he should retire.Comment

this one made me think; JMM vs. Hatton at 140 with joe cortez as the 3rd guy in the ring! wonder how that would turn out...Comment

lol....and give Cortez a pair of gloves too so they can have a royal rumble!Originally posted by superscience View PostComment

I wonder if both fighters will agree on Lawrence Cole. Probably not since he showed favoritism to Marquez in the Jaca fight.Comment

Why is this guy still being recommended for big fights???????????Comment

It's no secret that Marquez is my favorite fighter, but I don't like his reasoning for not wanting Cortez the more I look at it. If he just flat out said "I don't like the way he officiates" then it's fine but saying Cortez doesn't like Mexican fighters is childish. C'mon Juan. Besides, Cortez has a very valid point about his first fight with Pacquiao. He didn't have to let him continue. I like Marquez as a fighter and he is a proud champion but even I have to admit he does like to complain. Doesn't sway my stance on him though.Comment

He has had a very long career and reffed over 100 title fights with only a few controversies to date. His age may be playing a factor, either way all refs make mistakes. IMO he should retire......Originally posted by Dirk Diggler UK View PostComment

Cortez's performance in the Soto/Lorenzo was great compared to his performance in the Hatton/Floyd fight. If anything, Cortez has something against European fighters. Not Mexicans.Comment

Watching Floyd/Hatton and Hops/Calzaghe you see a painful inconsistancy.Comment
